DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT AND INTENDED USE

KEY FEATURES:

The Beetle line of rotary tools leverage off the same
patented technology that has made BEETLE nozzles
the most successful tube cleaning tools in the industry.
Beetle nozzles are engineered to provide the same
powerful cleaning features, but in a compact size
that is ideal for navigating tubes and small pipes with
curves and elbows.

• Rotating Head for better jet coverage and more
efficient cleaning than a static head.
• Short tool length allow Beetle to pass bends
and elbows to clean tubes that may otherwise
be inaccessible.
• Small Diameter cleans tubes with internal
diameters as small as .47 in. (12 mm)
• Patented liquid bearing technology means no
bearings, seals or lubricant to replace helps
reduce maintenance costs.
• Recessed inlet design retains short rigid length
when coupled with hose.
• Up to 22k (1500 bar) MAWP is ideal for
removing scale, carbons and polymers.

The small diameter and short length of Beetle tools
make them perfect for use with a Navigator, AutoBox
ProDrive or Boiler Tube Cleaner for cleaning process
piping, drain lines, u-tube bundles and other small
ID conduit with bends that may have between
inaccessible in the past.

WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Operations with this equipment can be potentially hazardous. Caution must be exercised prior to and during
machine and water jet tool use. Please read and follow all of these instructions, in addition to the guidelines
in the WJTA Recommended Practices handbook, available online at www.wjta.org. Deviating from safety
instructions and recommended practices can lead to severe injury and/or death.
• Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure specified for any component in a system. The immediate work
area must be marked off to keep out untrained persons.
• The Dump Valve is the most important safety device. Each operator must have and be able to use their own
Dump Valves to shut down the water pressure immediately if necessary.
• Inspect the equipment and nozzle for visible signs of deterioration, damage, and improper assembly. Do not
operate until repaired. Make sure all threaded connections are tight and free of leaks.
• All operators and persons in close proximity must wear personal protective equipment, including approved
protection for body, hands, feet, face, ears, eyes, and air passages. Please refer to the WJTA Recommended
Practices, Section 6.
• Water pressure greater than 20,000 psi (1379 bar) can reach 200oF (93oc) and can scald or burn the operator.
Always use face shields, water jet resistant armor, and gloves to protect the operator from being burned or cut.
• Inspect the high pressure hose for damage. Use ONLY hoses or flex lances intended for waterblast applications
and rated for the maximum operating pressure on the job. The high pressure hose crimp/end fitting should be
equal to or less than the diameter of the BEETLE tool. The high pressure hose should be as large as possible to
minimize pressure loss through the hose. There is increased risk of hydraulicking when cleaning plugged tubes,
when using larger ends.
• The BT should NOT be used in pipes with a larger diameter than the overall length of the tool and hose
crimp; otherwise the tool can turn around and come back toward the operator, causing serious injury or
death.

• An Anti-Withdrawal Device must be used when flex lancing. These devices provide a mechanical stop to
prevent the waterjet tool from exiting the tube and injuring the operator during the cleaning operation. StoneAge
automated, hands-free, equipment is designed to protect the operator and provide backout prevention. If
StoneAge automated equipment is not being used with the flex lances then one of two StoneAge backout
prevention options should be used.
The VE-400 Safety Stop is designed to protect the operator form a flex-lance exiting the tube 		
sheet during cleaning operations.
The ProTex BPT-100 vertical splash guard is lightweight and durable to keep operators safe from the 		
potential hazards of flex-lancing.

PART NUMBERS WITH SPECIFICATIONS
The BEETLES are self-rotating swivels designed for tube and pipe cleaning.
The diameter of the tool and inlet nut connection determine the model and
part number. The tool can be used at operating pressures from 8,000 psi to
22,000 psi, depending on the inlet connection and head jetting. Standard
tool part numbers are shown in Table 1 along with corresponding inlet connections, pressures and flows.
Each tool is capable of a range of pressures and flows. The maximum pull
of the standard tools range from 9 to 20 pounds. The nozzle head/shafts
are wear items that will need to be replaced after 20 to 60 hours, depending
on water filtration and operating pressure. The wrench flats provided on
the Body & Nut should always be used when maintaining these tools. Table
2 details the wrench size required for each tool part. These wrenches are
available from StoneAge.

BEND RADIUS CHART
APPLICATION SPECIFICATIONS
It is important to consider the length of your hose crimp and avoid couplings and adapters when configuring
the Beetle to take advantage of the small profile when cleaning tubes with bends or elbows.
PLEASE NOTE: Achieving the lowest possible bend radius may necessitate using hose/fitting combinations
that are rated for lower pressures than the Beetle tool rating.

OPERATION
OPERATION STEPS:
1. Flush out the entire system before installing the BEETLE tool on the end of the hose. A clean water
supply is needed for reliable operation and should contain no larger than 25 micron particulates.
2. Once the system is flushed, attach the BEETLE tool and place it in an open tube while the operating
pressure is being set.
3. When the tool is at operating pressure, the water exiting the tool through the leak paths/weep holes will
keep external debris from entering the tool.
4. If the tool is not under pressure it should not be left inside a plugged tube. Doing so could allow debris
to enter and prevent rotation or cause damage to the tool.
5. If the tool does not rotate when the dump valve is closed, the operator should try closing the dump valve
slowly a few times to build up pressure until normal operation is achieved. This will also flush debris
from the tool.
6. The BEETLE drilled nozzle head will last between 20 and 60 hours. Worn jets decrease the cutting
rate. The tool may begin to hydraulick when cleaning plugged tubes. This occurs when the jets are not
effectively cutting the material into smaller pieces.
7. When using BEETLE tools in plugged tubes, do not jam the head into the deposit because this will stop
the rotation of the tool and impede the cutting ability. When the tool contacts the deposit, allow it to cut
away the material and advance at its own pace. If it stops advancing, pull back slightly on the hose to
move the head away from the deposit. This action also allows the jets to cut the deposit at different
angles. The hose should be gradually fed into and out of the tube, allowing time for the jets to do their
work. Repeat this process until the tube is unplugged.
8. When polishing tubes with scale, the tool has been observed passing through a 50 foot long scaled tube
in 10 seconds. While this is sufficient when cleaning easy-to-remove deposits, we recommend feeding
the tool through the tube at a slower rate. This will ensure adequate cleaning. Unless the deposit is very
easy to remove, this will not completely remove the scale.

NOTICE
Corrosion pitting is one of the most common failures of BEETLE tools. Pitting can cause premature tool
failure due to cracking. StoneAge recommends the following to help extend the life of the BEETLE tools.

After use, blow out excess water and debris.
Flush the tool with WD-40®
Store tool in WD-40®

TROUBLESHOOTING
TOOL WILL NOT ROTATE:
• All BEETLE tools have a tapered shaft that fits into a tapered body. These surfaces do not touch
during operation. Do not pull out on the head/shaft in order to rotate the tool, it will lock up. If this
happens, tap the head/shaft on a surface to knock it free.
• Check the nozzle orifices in the head for plugging; if one becomes plugged the swivel will likely
not rotate. If this does not solve the problem, the swivel should be disassembled and inspected.
• There are two small holes exiting the tapered portion of the shaft; these should be checked for
debris and cleaned out. Blow out the body and wipe off the shaft to remove any debris.

This can crush and crack the hardened steel body, leading to tool breakage during operation.
The nozzle heads are wear items that will need to be replaced after 20 to 60 hours, depending on water
filtration and operating pressure. All BEETLE tools require the use of a correctly sized open-end wrench
to fit the flats provided on the inlet nut when attaching the tool to the lance. The wrench flats should
always be used when maintaining these tools. TABLE 2 details the wrench size required for each part of
the tools and the available kits that contain the wrenches for each tool model.

DISASSEMBLY STEPS:
1. Layout the appropriate size open end wrenches for the tool intended for maintenance. See Table 2
on the previous page for list of wrench sizes.
2. Locate the flats on the Head and tighten them in a vice, so that the nut end of the tool is facing up.
3. Slide a wrench onto the flats of the Nut and body to loosen the Assembly.
4. Remove the BEETLE from the vice and unscrew the Body from the Nut.
5. The Shaft should just drop out of the Body and the Disassembly is complete.

CLEAN:
1. Use a pin gauge or needle to make sure all orifices in all four parts are free of debris. The holes in
the Shaft are critical for proper rotation.
2. After cleaning each part, blow out excess water.

INSPECT:
1. The drilled nozzle head/shafts are designed for 20-60 hours of wear dependent upon water quality
and operating pressure. Worn head will decrease the cutting rates and overall productivity. Inspect the head for dents, pock marks, and jets. When in doubt replace the Head.
2. Inspect the Shaft for cracking, pitting, or uneven wear.

ASSEMBLY STEPS:
1. Position the stem of the Nut into the Shaft.
2. Slide the Body over the Shaft and screw onto the Inlet Nut.
3. Locate the flats on the Nut and the Body and tighten them in a vice.

NOTICE
Corrosion pitting is one of the most common failures of BEETLE tools. Pitting can cause premature tool
failure due to cracking. StoneAge recommends the following to help extend the life of the BEETLE tools.

After use, blow out excess water and debris.
Flush the tool with WD-40®
Store tool in WD-40®
